Most interactions, even between strangers, are completed without altercations; however, encounters between policemen and citizens are often tense and sometimes violent. Complaints of alleged police misconduct filed by citizens with the Philadelphia Police Advisory Board are examined as instances of strained or disruptive interaction. Included among the characteristics describing these encounters are circumstances under which the interaction began, the social status of the citizen, and the social context of the incident. Certain combinations of these conditions seem likely to lead to tense encounters and subsequent altercations. The associations suggested by the complaint data provide hypotheses for testing when information becomes available on a representative sample of police-citizen encounters
